Foxtrott – There Is A Light That Never Goes Out (The Smiths cover)

Foxtrott

 

Wow, this cover of The Smith’s classic is brilliant.  This is what I imagined if the Cure had covered this track, in terms of it’s sonic’s.  Even like the crickets and the train in the background.

Here is an original as well from Foxtrott.  It’s similar to the La Roux sound but with a darker tone to it.

This brings back some memories, well the original from Depeche Mode that is.  I was so happy to find this on a cassette of “Rare” Depeche Mode tracks that I purchased at a record convention.  Yes, I use to frequent flea markets and record conventions to find tracks I couldn’t otherwise find.   This of course was pre-internet days.    Anyway, I found out later that this track was actually the b-side of Dreaming of Me, the  7″.   Live and learn.  But it wasn’t all for not, I also got a live rendition of “Mouldy Old Dough”, a track I never heard of and for good reason, it wasn’t that good.  Also got, “I Like It ” which was a track I was happy to listen too.
